Double digits

  This isn't a milestone or anything. I don't know what to call it, but I just entered double digits in TCDB trades. I completed trades 10 and 11 in the last few days.

If that angry mass of text intimidates you and keeps you from sending me anything ever again, I completely understand. The final push came when I received a package in the mail from the mystery sender again. Last year I received a couple cards from him and then now this package that mostly included some 1973s. He apparently completed the '73 set already and was nice enough to send a few extras my way, but I don't know if I believe any of this because there's no name with the note he sent and no return address. Really, I don't mind if you ...
